Sometimes when you have a loved one, they have a problem.
(Oooh, yeah, yeah.)
They just seem to tell you the same old story. (Oh, they had to.)
They tell you that they're not on drugs
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.) or still drinkin' or stealin' often.
It still hurts.
(Ehhhhh, hey, hey.) Tellin' me stories.

Tellin' me stories, oh, oh, oh, all the time.
Tellin' me stories. (Oooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo.)

I don't know what the problem is,
But you seem to be tellin' me a story.
Oh yeah.

I tried to talk to you so we can compromise,
But you keep on tellin' me, oh, oh, baby,

There's a lot of love between you and me,
So give it a try.
